You see them, don't you? Little keychains with a fluffy, preserved rabbit's foot, meant to be the ultimate lucky charm. But have you ever stopped to think about it? It is a strange and gruesome little secret that the foot wasn't very lucky for the rabbit, was it? The poor creature had four of them, and it still ended up in a rather unfortunate situation, indeed.
This is the great, silly secret of so many "lucky picks" and superstitions. We cling to these odd little tokens, hoping they'll bend the universe in our favor, while ignoring the screamingly obvious logic of the situation. The true Shiners, the ones who seem to have all the luck, understand this. They know that a lucky charm is, at best, a focusing tool for your own belief. A real lucky pika isn't an object you find; it's a state of mind you forge. They spend less time rubbing a rabbit's foot and more time sharpening their own claws for the hunt. And that, you see, is why they always seem to catch their prize.
